The Rascals: not to be confused with the Rascals, a 1960’s soul band. To avoid confusion, we suggest a name change to Miles Kane’s Other Band (his first band being the Last Shadow Puppets, a duo formed with that guy we can’t seem to stop talking about, Alex Turner). In fact, this is how we will refer to this group from now on.
Miles Kane’s Other Band seems to be in a good place right now. The debut album, called (cringe) Rascalize, has popped up on iTunes (although from the looks of those little Popularity bars, no one’s been buying it). Miles recently got that crucial shout-out in Nylon, which printed an article about the Puppets and also described his first band, Little Flames, as “underappreciated.” Their Myspace photo album regularly get comments like “you guys are HOTT. and your music is awesommmmm.” AND they’ve got a lucky 999 fans on their Facebook fan page.
COOL. For the record (ha! pun), MKOB’s little name problem seems to be a recurring issue: on their official site, the page labeled “BLOG” is clearly not a blog, it is a bio…Oh wait, I’m joking, the title of that page is actually “BIOG.” Which looks exactly like “blog.”
Ok, this is really pissing me off.
